BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM Modulation MATLAB Code

This section provides MATLAB source code examples for BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM modulation (or data mapping). This page details the modulation/mapping of binary data based on the modulation type: BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM. It also plots the constellation diagram for each modulation scheme.

Setting Up Parameters for Modulation (MATLAB Code)

% Setting up parameters for modulation type
data = randint(1000,1,[1,0]); % generating binary data of 1000 bits with ones and zeros
mod_type=input('Enter the modulation type[1 for BPSK,2 for QPSK,3 for 16QAM,4 for 64QAM]: ');
norm_factor=[1.0;0.7071;0.3162;0.1543]; % normalization factors, 1.0:BPSK,0.7071:QPSK,0.3162:16QAM,0.1543:64QAM
nc=[1;2;4;6]; % number of bits per subcarrier, 1:BPSK,2:QPSK,4:16QAM,6:64QAM
input_seq = data;
k=norm_factor(mod_type);
mode=nc(mod_type);


This code segment initializes the necessary parameters for the modulation process. It generates random binary data, prompts the user to select the modulation type, and sets the appropriate normalization factor and number of bits per subcarrier based on the chosen modulation.

This section performs the core modulation. It selects the constellation point based on the mode variable (determined by the user’s choice of modulation type). The switch statement assigns the appropriate complex values (b) representing the constellation points for BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, or 64QAM. The code then iterates through the input binary sequence, mapping groups of bits to these complex constellation points and plotting the resulting constellation diagram.
